Easter Morn. 



Hark ! to Easter voices : — 

" Christ is risen I " 
Earth and Heaven rejoices : — 

"Clirist is risen ! " 

All nature's voices sina; 

On hill and plain ; 
Let every living; thinji 

Join the refrain. 

Rapture fills all the earth ; 

Glory the sky : 
Life has a second birth. 

And Death shall die. 

Sweet these Kaster voices : — 

" Christ is risen \ " 
Earth and Heaven rejoices : — 

" Christ is risen ! " 

" Christ is risen ! " O sing 1 

" Mighty to save ! " 
(J Death where is thy sting ? 

Thy victory, Grave ? 

Sing I sing this tiimnph given 

To suflering love ! 
'Tis the " New Song " in heaven ; 

Join them above. 

In this glad song rejoice, 

O burdened heart ! 
Wake ! every silent voice. 

And bear a part. 



Come, O tliou Holy Dove I 

With promised power; 
Crown with Tliy tender love, 

This joyful hour. 

To Him let love l)e given. 

Whose name is Love, 
Till Karth responds to Heaven, 

Love ! (inly Love. 

Let blinded eyes behold 

This Easter light, 
.\nd hearts now hard and cold, 

Melt at the sight. 

Let hearts estranged, — hate riven, — 

Touched from al)()ve, — 
Forgive, and be forgiven. 

Through love, — pure love. 

Joy-giving Easter morn, 

I'hy lilies white, 
Emlilem the life to dawn 

In love and light. 

List to Easter voices .' 

" Christ is risen! " 
Earth with Heaven rejoices : — 
" Christ is risen ! "
